this group are one of my favourites ever...i went on a listening spree with this band recently, so much of their material is extremely intense and euphoric,always found their music had a sort of deeply druggy vibe. its amazing to find out all the band members were teetotal!
their music was in the film Trainspotting I don't know if that's why I associate their music with drugs, but their 90s material has a certain specific drug vibe its weird.
some of the best produced electronic music ever really smooth sound has not dated an inch

Dubnobass...is my favourite, I really like something they did about a decade ago too called the Riverun Project, not many people have heard of.
one of those bands that has been around for decades (like Wire) that is still really consistent.

Apparently the initial downloads of Drift Episode 2 ATOM had an issue with the track Soniamode. The master is loud, noisy, and almost blown out. The band was made aware and an updated, fixed version was being sent out to digital stores. Many stores, but not all, have the corrected audio up now and you must re-download your purchase. Sadly it seems all of the illegal download sites are passing around the original version with mastering issue. The copy I bought has the issue and it seems 7Digital is being daft about the whole situation. I hope they get a fix soon cuz I'm waiting to listen to the new EP.

“I was there… I’m trying to cast my mind back to 2005 and the sessions at Music Bank by the railway tracks in SE1. I can’t remember why we were there… rehearsal for upcoming gigs perhaps or were we trying to capture some of the tracks from 100 Days Off in their live shape? What I do remember was we recorded loads of versions of Twist live, straight off Rick’s Midas H1000 into an 8-track portadrive.

Listening to them today they range from reconstructed live jams hardly recognisable as the original album version to faithful renditions of the aforementioned track or long takes that rise and fall over the course of 15 minutes or more, overdubbed with wild guitar solos. The version you are listening to here falls into the last category and is pretty close to the way it was played live at the time; maybe slightly longer than you’ve heard it performed unless you were in the audience at one of those special nights where Karl was channelling the spirit of Gregg Allman or Dennis Coffey and Rick just didn’t want the music to end.” – Steve Hall
